Amazon Calgary Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The company's vision is to automate action of the leading companies in the physical economy, from entertainment, QSR's, retail and beyond. It's using computer vision AI to measure, alert and provide AI-generated recommendations at the operations of leading companies such as Merlin/Legoland, 7-11, Tanger Outlets, Manhattan Mini Storage, Charlotte Hornets, Calgary Flames, and more. In the near future, Safari AI will use this data and to suggest how its clients can optimize its SOPs to generate more revenue and create more valuable guest and staff experiences.

Safari AI is seed-funded by leading venture capital investors and expects to raise its Series A in 2025. Safari AI is co-founded by Ali Vahabzadeh & Kaiwen Yuan, two leaders who have meaningful exits under their belts and have managed large, high-performing Go To Market and Engineering teams. The company is headquartered in NYC where the GTM team is based and works from the office five days a week, while Engineering is distributed between North America and Brazil.
